Hanging scroll landscape in muted ink on silk: craggy mountains, a waterfall, small roofed buildings by a stream, and bare gnarled trees in the lower left.

A hanging scroll in muted ink and color on silk shows towering craggy mountains above a waterfall and a cluster of small roofed buildings beside a stream. Gnarled bare trees frame the lower left, and rocky ground rises toward the bottom edge.
